Sildenafil Tablets 100mg

Sildenafil 100mg

Sildenafil 100mg is the highest available strength and maximum recommended dose of sildenafil, a prescription-only treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Sildenafil 100mg is usually prescribed if the 50mg dose didn’t work well enough for successful intercourse and you tolerated lower doses well. You can request 100mg sildenafil tablets at Quick Meds by completing an online consultation, which a prescriber will review to decide whether this dose is safe for you.

At a glance

• Highest available sildenafil strength

• May be prescribed when 50mg doesn’t work well enough

Who is Sildenafil 100mg for?

Sildenafil 100mg may be suitable if you have tried 50mg and it has not improved your erections enough. Your prescriber will also consider whether you tolerate sildenafil well, as 100mg is the maximum recommended dose and has been shown to cause more common side effects than lower doses.

Sildenafil 100mg is not usually used as a starting dose. Your prescriber will consider your response to treatment, side effects, health and other medicines you take as part of your online consultation before deciding whether to increase your dose.

How effective is Sildenafil 100mg?

In clinical studies, 82% of men taking sildenafil 100mg reported improved erections, compared to 74% taking 50mg. This greater response at 100mg is one reason a prescriber may consider increasing your dose if 50mg has not worked well enough.

The most suitable dose of sildenafil varies from person to person. How well it works can depend on factors such as the cause of your ED, when you take it and your level of sexual arousal. If you feel your current dose isn’t giving you the results you’re looking for, your prescriber can advise whether a different dose may be more suitable.

How to take Sildenafil 100mg

Take one sildenafil 100mg tablet 30 to 60 minutes before sex. You can take it with or without food, although taking it with food may mean it takes longer to start working. Sildenafil works when you’re sexually aroused, so sexual stimulation is needed for it to take effect.

Sildenafil 100mg is the maximum recommended dose in 24 hours. If you don’t get the results you’re looking for, your prescriber can advise on the most suitable next step rather than taking an additional dose.

As with any medicine, side effects can occur, and they may be more noticeable at higher doses. If you experience side effects that are difficult to manage, speak to your prescriber, who can advise whether a different dose may be more suitable for you.
